One of CHAI’s greatest strengths is the Japanese band’s ability to weave between different genres, buoyed by their generous sense of humor and vibrantly catchy hooks. “ACTION,” from the upcoming album WINK, is yet another striking shift for the four-piece: a sleek house-pop confection built on shimmering synths, a strutting bassline, and a rolling electro drumbeat. Here, CHAI use an insistent call-and-response to spell out the title and turn it into a self-affirming mantra. The band wrote the song after seeing Black Lives Matter protests across the U.S. last summer, inspired by the direct action and solidarity playing out in the streets. CHAI turns that sense of communal encouragement into a smooth sugar rush bolstered by lyrics that call for a better future, one made in their own irresistibly playful image.
